Think 10+ alts are painful? I am doing this on 50+ toons and most of them require multiple attempts.

Chiming in to say I just tried to do this again on another alt. I did not use the group finder, but waited until I saw there was a large group starting the encounter and then tagged and did my best to pitch in, which is not easy on a squishy in the over-tuned mess that is this fight, especially when 50+ players are involved. All that having been said, I still got no credit and from the exclamations of those around me, neither did most of the large group.
After weeks of having to re-kill world bosses ā and I admit this is pure speculation ā I am starting to think that there is a limit cap on the number of tags that will count on the world bosses. Never mind that the rewards for killing a world boss since Legion have been largely lackluster. The experience I have had with DF world bosses has a definite feeling of high effort for low or no reward.

Well alright thenā¦
This weekās WQ issues :
- Elders not giving credit and may require many tries.
- Time Rift not giving the quest to all your characters, this is quite random as I got the quest on 3/9 of my toons so far (it used to be one per account but now it should be individual quest for every toons after the patch), so you can still finish the time rift but there is no chest reward from it.
- Research WQ reward bag (highest quality) - will give you the storm chest (inside a vet gear) plus another gear inside the bag but this gear is ilvl 250, it is the same issue last week with the feast bag, dragonbage bag and big hunt bag and they fixed it later.

here to report the same issuesā¦
There was another thread which was on the same topic.
I wrote a potential workaround there if youāre interested.
I was able to finish the problematic World quest on all my alts this way.
My experiences so far this week on several alts:
- Did not receive credit for the world quest or loot off either boss IF someone joins the group after the pull (still listed in LFG when pulled, last member joined group after in combat)
- Received credit and loot when in full, or partially full, raid groups and no one added to the group after the pull (not listed in LFG when combat starts)
Not sure what other factors may have been at play, but Iāve had three attempts complete successfully under the second scenario and four attempts fail under the first.
Also, no indication on the map or tooltip that the Zaqali Elders were the Awakened World Boss of the week, almost put in a bug report about Basrikronā¦
Just to add to my previous post, if youāre able to find a shard which is properly giving people the world boss quest, you need to get the kill on the pull.
Meaning, no wipes, donāt let the boss despawn.
I can confirm, even on working shards, it can bug out if the boss depsawns.(the world quest wonāt re-appear after the boss respawns)
That has not been my experience.
I joined a group though LFG, the bosses had despawned and we continued to fill the group. While the bosses were despawned, the WQ was absent and people were noting that in the raid chat. Once the group was full and automatically delisted, we still had to wait several minutes for the bosses to respawn. When the bosses respawned the WQ automatically triggered. We did not relist in LFG and added no one the group manually (though several had dropped). After the bosses were killed the WQ completed and we received loot. This was my third kill on that alt, and the only one where I was able to convince a group to not invite after pull.
There is a chance that while random players were joining, you could have switched shards.
I tested this with around 10 alts I had and didnāt have any issues completing it.
If I had the WQ popup, I created a group.
If it didnāt pop up for me, I would go to the GF and find a group.
If the group I joined didnāt make the WQ popup, Iād just leave and continue searching for a group until I get the WQ.
If anyones having a problem, its worth a try.

6th tryā¦ still no creditā¦ thank you Indie Blizzard. Maybe 1 day youāll be an AA gameā¦
Same with me on one of my alts. Did it twice, and no credit either time. I made sure the 2nd time the WQ was showing as a quest in the list of quests first. Not even going to bother trying it again on alts. Itās a 7 or so minute fight, to get nothing.
Seems the new season broke a lot of stuff.

Five times on one alt earlier. Just finished it twice on another alt, and no credit. Someone said it had to do with having the elders too far apart. That did not work. Definitely hit both elders. That did not work. I would try that āhop shards until the quest popsā thing, but I am so tired, disappointed, and just pissed off.
Season 4 is the buggiest, most disappointing release. I feel stupid for wasting so much time when the game is so broken.
Not one peep from Bliz.
Hey Blizzard! You are losing a long time customer. (I know they donāt read these, butā¦ whatever.)

Been playing since November 2006 with a few short couple of months breaks thrown in, but at this time, I really donāt want to play. I mean, I do want to play. But Iām fearful my time will be wasted. I have 30+ alts Iād like to get some open world upgrades on. But thereās been hardly any WQs for gear the past two resets, and stuff from things like world bosses and events like hunts, time rifts, dragonbane assault and soup are buggy as heck. Half the time you do them you either get nothing, or a really screwy piece of gear like item level 250.
Not to mention bugs with sharding. Sick of doing stuff like seeds in Emerald Dream and getting shifted to a different shard before the time is up, and losing the seed completely.

This is still not working. Iāve kill them 3 times without getting credit. Would be nice to have a fix.
Same here, still not giving credit or rewards, done it on 3 characters now and nothing. Not really in the mood to do it over and over until I get credit and rewards. Donāt worry though Blizz, we know you donāt care about open world content or its players, so just keep ignoring it while you ensure your precious raiders and dungeoneers are kept happy with their content being fixed.
Well, Blizzard is doing an unplanned maintainence now and hopefully these are the issues they will fix :
- Elders WQ not able to complete.
- Research event bag often giving 250 ilvl gears (sometime it will give 480 ilvl gears) plus the standard chest for vet gears.
- Time Rift event quest (sometime) not available to your other toons AFTER you have finished it with your first toon.

Hoping either the maintenance or the hotfix last night fixed it:
Quests
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the world quest āZaqali Eldersā to fail to start.
Iāll try it one more time after work. If I still donāt get the cache, Iām done trying it for the week.
Spoiler, its still bugged. I got two characters to complete after restart. One is still unable to complete.

Can confirm, still bugged even after the maintenance. WQ wonāt even activate, let alone complete. No Awakened chest after kill.
